Mike Gundy Explains Why OSU Waited Until Late to Insert Spencer Sanders into Game

Related Topics: Spencer Sanders, Mike Gundy

Spencer Sanders did not start the game for Oklahoma State at quarterback after missing last game with a shoulder injury and most of this week’s practice both with the ailing shoulder and a death in the family. But Spencer Sanders sure finished the game.

Sanders was inserted by Mike Gundy and the staff late in the third quarter, and with OSU’s offense sputtering, he gave them an instant spark. On his second possession, they scored a TD, part of a 10-0 run to close the game in a 20-14 win.

But why would Sanders’ health be bad enough to sit early and OK enough to play late?
